The Board can tell the Registrar to inform your employer if you are a social worker with conditions on your work. The Registrar must give written notice if the Board or the Tribunal adds, cancels, or changes a condition on a social worker's individual scope of practice. You can find more information about changes to this rule in the Social Workers Registration Legislation Act 2019.
